AC/DC-Flick Of The Switch (1983)

Initially considered a lesser album compared to its predecessors, "Back in Black" and "For Those About to Rock", "Flick of the Switch" has since been rescued from obscurity, finally taking its rightful place within AC/DC's fantastic discography. History has rightfully recognized this timeless work. Its grooves showcase the band's signature fierce and powerful sound, a piece that embodies the enduring enigma of complex simplicity. From the opening track "Rising Power" with its powerful riffs, to the rhythmic and heavy hard rock cuts "This House Is On Fire", "Guns for Hire", "Flick of the Switch", "Bedland in Belgium", "Deep in the Hole", "Nervous Shakedown" or "Landslide", all of them full of the obligatory choruses, sharp riffs, amazing guitar solos, a crushing rhythm section and Johnson's shouty and charismatic voice, they lead to an album as sublime as it is typical, but which never founders, showing the unique and magical formula that AC/DC have always left in all their releases.
